This was one of the worst HOG's I have played. The objects were way too small. Even with my glasses on I had trouble. Too many 'instruction windows' to look at before you actually get to play the game. For my computer, it was a slow loading game, even though the ram required to run the game is quite low. I even had trouble trying to exit the game. Why on earth developers think this is a Collector's Edition is beyond me. I immediately removed it from my computer. I didn't even want to play beyond the first scene. I so wanted to like this game and buy it because there are so few games the past few years offered I want to play. I hope you will enjoy it. I did not.
I don't recommend this game.

I have all of the Angela installments, but this one is a lot harder because the developers put too many things you have to remember in this version.
The game itself is simple: customers come into the shop to purchase items, you wait on them and check them out. But the additional things you are required to do to earn this, that, or the other thing is way off the charts.

Additionally, there is no way to change your play level: no easy, intermediate or hard.
The only reason this is a Collector's Edition is because of the 'extra' things you have to remember to do, accomplish, etc., and is not worth the extra money (in my opinion) but I purchased it anyway. The game is not as enjoyable as previous ones.
I like a challenge,but not this much. I recommend it if you enjoy a plethora of things to remember to earn extra points, etc.

I have all of the Emily games and look forward to a new one each year. However, there is a new developer and they suck! It is too much of a challenge to complete all of the things in each scene and not enough time. So far, I am at the Ranch with that darned grill and there are too many things to accomplish: making those darned kabobs (they burn too quickly), getting the steaks cooked (they burn too fast as well), serving the kid water or hay then holding the mouse down to fill the circle when I could be doing something else. Heating the cheese for the soup, etc. is annoying. I like the Emily games for the multi-tasking, but this game is ridiculous. Patrick moves too slowly to clean the tables as well. If Game House is going to continue with this new developer, I hope they will fine-tune future games to imitate the original ones or else I probably won't be buying the Emily games in the future. Why can't they leave things alone? If it ain't broken, don't try to fix it......!!
I recommend this game!

I have every Park Ranger game created in this series. At this stage in my life I appreciate light-hearted games to take my mind off of "the world" and not the heavy serious games being offered in the majority on Big Fish. I like a medium challenging game; not one that has me pulling my hair out trying to solve, or remember where to use an item I found 6 rooms ago that will allow me to complete the game; or a game that opens with you trying to solve how to unlock a gate so you can get into a house. Park Ranger and their sister Cruise Director games are a 'must-buy' for me. What I didn't like about this version is being charged the price of a Collector's Edition. I don't care about wallpapers, etc. Just give me the game! Somehow, I think new versions of this game will be released as Collector Editions. Hope not.
I recommend this game!

I have all of the Angela games and I feel this one is the best for me. I don't want a game that is so challenging I am exhausted trying to keep up. This version has just enough 'challenge' for my taste. I do find each individual level is much shorter than in the other games and I feel I am being bum-rushed. I love the music. Some complained. Just turn your speakers down. I am always annoyed at the dialogue, but I just press the Skip button and get right to playing the game. Wasn't happy using 2 Game Credits to pay for it, but all of the Emily games are CE's nowadays. I'm satisfied with the game, and happy to have it!
I recommend this game!

It just isn't Christmas unless I have another installment of this game to play! It is always delightful, colorful, takes my mind off the dreariness of life, and I have all the installments of this game! Thanks Big Fish!! I don't like the dark games anymore. Life is dark enough. When I play a game today I want something that will uplift my spirit. This game falls into that category. Thanks so much!
I recommend this game!

I thought this game would be too busy for me to really enjoy, but I was wrong. Once you get a routine going, it is very enjoyable and quite addictive. The Collector version came out first, which I passed on. Was so happy the Standard version came out rather quickly. The difference between the two are 2 additional levels, which I wish were available but I can't see spending two game credits for two extra locations. The one thing I don't like is; in some of these games the developers put the wrong music for a location. For example, one of the clinics is located in Hawaii but they play Caribbean music which is kind of insulting for Hawaiians. Other than that, I hope there is a second version of Happy Clinic. I will gladly buy it. Loved this one very much!

This is the best game from the Delicious genre of games yet! I love that it offers multiple locations for gamers to play: you have the restaurant, school cafeteria with school supplies, department store, prom, and prison. Everything is fast-paced, yet not overwhelming; and I love that they give you extra points for cleaning your area before each episode ends! It is an excellent combination of serving food and drinks in a variety of locations and waiting on people in a department store where clothing & accessories is the theme. The prison setting is different as well because you get to do laundry and pass out books and make beds. This game is an all around mixture of working your skills. I hope they create another one like this. It was the best one yet, and I've played them all!
I recommend this game!

I am a big fan of the Emily time management games, so I am used to waiting on many people at the same time; but this game is much more intense; yet fun (so far). I played 45 minutes of the free hour, and there were more and more passengers I did not get a chance to serve. Plus the area in which you must work impedes your capability to restock your cart and get back out there and please your passengers. The music is upbeat and helps you along. I will eventually purchase this game; but as the first reviewer stated: 2 game credits are a bit much for this game. I would much rather spend 1 credit. Waiting for a sale to come along soon!
I recommend this game!

Thank you Big Fish for bringing this game for the holidays! I always look forward to the Emily Series, and I am enjoying this one as well. The Emily Series are never going to be stressful challenges and it is what I so like about them. I like a little challenge, but nothing major. I play this series to relax and take my mind off of everyday things. I am already looking forward to the next installment. Keep them coming please!!!!
I recommend this game!
